Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new challenge here at Allsorts, the theme this week was chosen by Catherine who is taking a little sabbatical so we really miss her but are hoping she will be back with us in the Spring, so here is her theme.....................

Inspired by a Carol or Christmas Song

I'm sure you will all have lots of favourites for this one and we look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing your projects (and lots of singing along with crafting please!!!!!) and please do remember to tell us in your post which carol or song you have followed.

We have two super sponsors this week..................

DigiDarla is the brain child of Kim Eskola and her daughter Emilea and both enjoy creating and when the idea of creating digital stamps came up, it sounded like the most wonderful way to earn ever! The stamps you will find in the store and on this site come from our art as well as a few family friends that help to digitize so we can keep up. They are offering one lucky winner five images of their choice.

Crafty Ribbons

Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none. Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel ? Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft. Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog. Go on, have a look... It's worth it ! The prize from them is a collection of lovely ribbons

Now for some fabulous inspiration from our Design Team, please do visit their blogs to see more.
